Readme for Ketchup-0.4.3

Howdy, this is Ketchup!

Ketchup is a very small HTTP server implementation, currently 300 LoC total!
Ketchup is also made to be as modular and embeddable as possible, if you want a cabal-free Haskell app, just take those two/three files you need and put it in your project!
Currently Ketchup comes with:

Basic httpd functionality (IPV4 only for now)

URL Routing with parameters (ie. /user/:name/)

Static file handler (ie. static "." as route/handler)

Basic Auth (please use it over a HTTPS reverse proxy)

Dependencies

The core parts of Ketchup are all depedency free, that includes Ketchup.Httpd and Ketchup.Utils (and to a certain extent, Ketchup.Chunked).
The dependencies required are for the following modules:

Ketchup.Static (uses mime-types)

Ketchup.Auth (uses base64-bytestring)

A word of warning

Ketchup is not a competitor to Snap / Happstack / Yesod / etc., Being designed to be small, Ketchup doesn't have or care about high performance / templating etc., Ketchup doesn't even have HTTPS!
